Down to 1600
Not sure what is happening around but it seems like the more tries I did, the worse I become with tactics.

Climbing Ladders
Climbing? Or going downhill? After 200 tries, there are rise in rating but drop in accuracy.

Back from Idle
Finally I learn how not to make excuses to practice chess tactics.
==>> 
And tonight I managed to force myself to do some exercises, 100 tries to be exact.

Idle
Life had been busy lately. There had been no chess exercises lately and my profile at Chess Tactics Server is getting inactive in a few days.
Where will I get more time? Or just pure excuses?

Year 1 Review
More than 1 year has passed since I last created a chess study plan based on the insipiration from an article from Convekta.com written by WGM Irina Mikhailova where according to her “The success formula has been corroborated: 2200 ELO + 2 year training period with Convekta Ltd programs = IM.â€Â
I had not posted too much about the study plan since my Tactical Training post and this time after 1 year, is review time.

It had been a while since I last posted anything on my adventure toward the jungle of chess training. In fact, it had been a while since I had seriously doing any chess training.
From 5~6 hours per week earlier this year to 5~6 hours per month lately, no wonder I am getting worse at my tournament performance. Taiping tournament and the first half of Penang Closed tournament are very good prove when all my 3 losses from the 11 tournament games are due to tactical oversight.
After the terrible Taiping performance, well not too terrible actually but still terrible compare to my tournament performance at first half of year 2007, I tell myself and some friends during the dinner that I should do more chess exercises…

Laziness Knows Me by Name
For the record, besides solving some tactical position at Chess Tactics Server, I barely touch anything on chess study since National Closed 2007… Someone slap me in the face and drag me away from laziness!!

Round Numbers
I had been struggling with 1600~1670 tactics rating at Chess Tactics Server for the last 10,000 tries. Today, I “managed” to adjust some figure to become round number. Good?
